I’ve typed the title! I’m cooking with gas! See me go, I’ll have written masses by the time the toddler wakes up from h…

(P.S This is my second post for #WhatImWriting this week. Chrissie decided on the (optional) theme: ‘What I’m NOT writing’ but I’ve had such a productive week I wanted to write about that. But then I’m a pro at procrastination so I couldn’t resist writing this post too!)

Updated 10th April – ‘The Prompt’ over at Mum turned Mom this week is ‘Procrastination’ so I couldn’t resist linking up this post!

It is incredible how the procrastinating brain is able to make the most random links to keep itself going… Much more constructive when applied to the writing itself of course! I’m generally managing to be pretty focused with my limited editing time at the moment, but pretty much everything else is starting to slip! X

Oh crikey yes, the laptop’s often open here and then I need a loo stop, then I decided I need to get this, that and the other done. And maybe some writing too, if I’m really lucky (or disciplined!) Thanks for joining in with #WonderfulWorldofWriting Maddy

Know this very well. Cup of tea, more biscuits, oh, shiney thing. Look someone sent me a link via instant messenger. Just check my work emails…
It’s too easy to fall into the trap and get overwhelmed.
Love the voice here, Maddy x

I’m actually pretty good at not procrastinating anymore.
Used to love it though and found it to be a creative thing…
As for writing – I agree, a good cuppa and a biscuit are essential –
come on, first things first, right?! x

Story of my life. I’m always googling random things or checking Instagram when I should be writing/blogging. And my son doesn’t nap every day now, so I have to get it all done in the evening when I’m tired and more prone to goofing off.

This is brilliant, how did I miss it when you published (I suspect I was still in my fog of snow and husband with broken hand!). This is so completely me! Especially when I’m tired. Love it Thanks so much for sharing with #ThePrompt x

Oh yes, so familiar. Amazing how fascinating and urgent other things can become isn’t it? I like hobnobs, and I like chocolate digestives too – as long as there’s chocolate involved, I’m not too fussy xx #ThePrompt
